Hi! I am new here. Very interested in making pies. Wanting to know the best way to package/ box up pies and the best way to reheat them. Thank you.

Welcome to eG, @43bakes!  I'm interested to see your pies!

Hello @43bakes. I know very little about making pies, but I love to look at them and read about them. So, please post about what you learn! Welcome to eGullet.

Hi Tdev!

thank you. I too love to read and learn from others. Just a beginner here though. Made these last night, slightly too long in the oven. But am very happy with the puff but not so much the short crust pastry. Too dense, perhaps the bottom was too thick. But I was afraid my filling would fall out coz I piled it good!

Very nice pies. I don't bake enough of them, and when I do it's with a gluten-free crust, which is a whole 'nother animal. 

 

I'd say, per your question on another thread, to wait until they're completely cool to box them. Reheating, if those are about 4-inch diameter? I'm sold on a steam-convection oven like the CSO (sadly, no longer being manufactured). If they're room-temp or refrigerated, 10 minutes on steam bake at 350 will do wonderful things for them. If frozen, a bit longer (may want to shield the top with a loose drape of foil)

 

I'd be interested in hearing you talk about the filling you use.
